As I prepare to post my review, I thought I would share a couple photos. I love how my original TCL-x100 Teleconverter looks on my new x100F. I had originally purchased it with my black x100S, but I think I actually like this look better. I’ve now owned every x100 and the love affair just keeps growing with this camera.
This past July my daughter and I decided on a whim to take a trip to Tokyo for a few days. She was out of school for the summer and it was perfect for some quality father daughter time. It’s been two years since our last trip. Scary how fast time goes by. On my last trip to Tokyo I had just bought the x100T and was testing it out.
Hey everyone. Hope your all doing well today. I took this photo last year while testing my x100T that I had just upgraded to. The photo is part of a blog post I did on shop keepers in Naha. Click here to view that story. I love how he's surrounded with so much merchandise and yet everything looks in place.
Spent a few days with the family at Okuma Resort in Kunigami Prefecture. We try to get up there a few times per year and we are never disappointed with our stay.

Very cool pink sunrise this morning over the Awase skyline. - Fuji x100 shot wide open at f2.0, 1/80 sec and 200 ISO.

I took this from a park off of Jagaru road overlooking Chatan. I've shot this same image (minus) the fireworks before and it came out nice and sharp, but this time it's not as sharp. Could have been the humidity as it was crazy hot. So while I couldn't make a large print of it, it's still not bad at smaller sizes and on the web. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July.

Today I drove down south near Chinen as part of a Spicy Food feature we are working on for Okinawa Living to try out a dish from a Thai restaurant in the area called Curcuma. Curcuma sits on the cliffs overlooking the eastern coastline of Okinawa and has a spectacular view. Today's blue skies and turquoise colored water made the view breathtaking.

Since this was not a standard restaurant review we were able to get right to the heart of the reason for our trip. Tasting Curcuma's hottest dish, the green curry loaded with 25 hot red peppers! At least thats the number the staff told us. :) While the dish was hot no doubt about it, it wasn't so hot that you couldn't still taste and enjoy the flavor. Although I would recommend passing on the water and chasing everything down with some type of milk based drink which is much more effective at cooling the burn from the peppers. So I'm told.

All in all I would definitely recommend the restaurant. Food was good, the view was fantastic and the drive wasn't that bad either. As for the peppers... proceed at your own risk. :)
